Sabana Beach Resort

I had a great time. The place is so peaceful and so quite. it gives you the opportunity to connect with nature.

Rooms are nice, but no air conditioning, although it's not needed during the night. But it would be nice during the day. The beach is a long hike down stairs and is gravel, not sand. The lake water didn't look particularly inviting for swimming being a caramel brown color. Power was out most of the day. Wifi is only available when power is on and only in the restaurant, not the rooms.

I visited this beautiful place last weekend. Everything was fine, except for the rude behavior of the morning restaurant staff. They were dealing with us as if they are doing us a favor. If you ask them for more than 1 egg, they will roll their eyes and make faces as if you have asked something which was not permitted at all. They also lack basic table manners, though you have not finished your meal, they still start cleaning your table, completely ignoring you. Restaurants staff needs to be trained.

Great resort. Cabin/bungalow price was reasonable by European standard around 100$ Room was comfortable and clean and included a stocked mini fridge. The private terrace was also great to use. The only thing missing is a fan in each of the rooms. Otherwise I had a great stay and can recommend

This hotel is in a lovely spot. The management could spend more time on maintenance and cleaning. The mountain bikes don’t work, the jacuzzi is broken, the venicular hasn’t worked in years, etc. The trash bins were full the entire time we were here and the maid didn’t come at all because we had a do not disturb sign on the door during breakfast.||The staff is good, we had massages and they were great. The kayaks were good, as we got out and explored the shoreline. The cooks make nice food, and we enjoyed our meals, here.|||||

Nice escaping place from Addis. Enjoyed our stay at Sabana. Environment is amazing. Its clean and the staff is helpful. There are things can be done better but its still fine. Just be aware that the hotel doesn’t accept debit/credit cards and there is no atm inside the hotel. You need transfer the money to their account or come with a cash.

Went there as a family. The place is kids friendly staff was professional and food was great. Lake was beautiful but a bit of a hike from the lake to the rooms or restaurant. Spa was closed because of covid. Room was great too and yes every thing works which is really hard now a days in other hotels.

Sabana is a really beautiful place and truly a beach resort. The best part about Sabana is that it brings you very close to the nature. While there are nice facilities, it's not a hotel and that's great. There is a beach (with bar, volleyball net, chairs to relax), bungalows/villa have one side facing the lake, the dinning area is big and ventilated, they also arranged bonfire for us, they are so many beautiful and rare birds on the resort. It has 6 tortoise too! Plus there is Jacuzzi, Steam, Sauna. The souvenir shop would have everything you could need. A complete package!!!! It's 3.5-4 hours from Addis and totally worth a long weekend trip. Wish I could stay longer..
